Through the letter of the Senate of Ragusa, dated May 18, 1430, to his ambassador in Bosnia, we learn about the repression of the insurrection of John Kastrioti. “The Sultan occupied Thessaloniki, it is said in the letter, and after having taken part of his people, he sent them to the Sea and a part against the possessions of the land of John the Kastriot.” John took four strongholds … that flattened to the ground … ” . But he could deal with the Turks and save some of their possessions, under very difficult conditions. Kruja and Sfetigradi, passed over to the Turkish army; The province of Dibra, detached from the possessions of the Kastrioti. John was burdened with a heavy tribute, was forced to serve in the Turkish army earlier and send to Istanbul his Sultan hostage.
